Ford Joining the Hybrid Love

Ford are among the current throng of auto-makers looking to get in on the hybrid movement but there’s is certainly among the better looking (read: not strange looking) offers:

It’s the new Ford Fusion, the hybrid car they’ll be launching in 2010 but are already marching out on the marketing campaigns for – the company now in desperate need of a saviour in either the form of a new car or a new Lee Iacocca.

Though if they do launch it over in Europe I’m curious as to whether it’ll get a new name or phase out the car we already have here as the Ford Fusion – a compact little runner that despite it’s economy and nippy nature is unlikely to see success stateside, it’s just too little.

What do you think, have Ford create a hybrid that’ll do the business for them?
